This is important alongside halting deforestation by 2030 and moving some of the $130 trillion pledged by #GFANZ to make-up the shortfall of the annual $100bn of #climate finance for emerging economies.

Yet what are we talking about when we talk about #NetZero? Offsetting emissions through '#NatureBasedSolutions' & #bioenergy renders #NetZero pledges largely meaningless. Polluters just keep polluting. Please see this statement signed by >700 groups:

Real Solutions, Not 'Net Zero'

Organizations around the world demand that governments put forward plans to bring emissions and fossil fuel production down to Real Zero.

need policies supporting the use of electrification to displace gas combustion. Sadly, in large part due to cheap gas & policy added burden/costs on electricity, this is a long way from being investable. Pictures of Scotland’s LAST big river heat pump. 80% less CO2

No major emitting country has committed to stop extracting fossil fuels and no country on Earth has committed to stop burning them. Looking forward to the analysis to see where you're assuming all the net goes!

They are pledges, nothing more. Once we start seeing real action and real results then we will start to feel optimistic. #COP26
